Notes

Update about extension and calendar

• • Nathalie presented the revised timeline for CCWG till June 2018.  Main ideas presented:
  • This timeline will be presented and discussed in more details during the next CCWG plenary.
  • Target is to finish the work within the FY18 timeframe
  • ICANN 61 (March 18) is the drop deadline for subgroups to complete their work
  • ICANN 60 (Nov 17) is the drop deadline for subgroups to finalize their 1st draft
  • Recommendations drafted by ICANN 59 (Jun 16) allow for 2 public comment periods
  • Public comment period must run over the summer to be ready for a plenary discussion of a revised draft by ICANN 60 

Group discussed plan for diversity subgroup with the extension:

• • Several people in favor of a plan that would allow for 2 public comment periods. Others indicated that it may be preferable to not rush and to only do 1 public comment period.
  • Decision was made to try to have a 1st draft ready on June 18, for 1st reading to the Plenary on June 25 in Johannesburg.
  • Questionnaire responses are not due until June 1st, leaving little time for analysis and inclusion in the report.Members of the subgroup were encouraged to reach out to their respective SO/AC leaders to ask them to respond to the questionnaire as soon as possible (and preferably ahead of the 1st June deadline).

  Olevie:Salut

  Viviane Vinagre:I'm here

  Olevie:hi

  Olevie:everybody

  Renata:salut, olá

  Olevie:Olà Renata. Bom dia

  Renata:18 june?

  Renata:to finish the draft?

  Nathalie Vergnolle:Yes Renata

  Renata:Nathalie tks for confirmation

  Lito Ibarra:I hear you well, Fiona

  Fiona Asonga:I am happy working with the June target not just becaus eit gives us 2 public comments but it also enables us to have time to get imput twice

  Fiona Asonga:First time based on input from AC/SO and second with input from public

  Fiona Asonga:+1 Nathalie, I beleive we can make it work

  Renata:better possibility

  Olevie:great

  Fiona Asonga:+ on reduction of the public comments period

  Renata:captioning is back, many thanks

  Olevie:please, did we have plenary session in Johannesburg ?

  Nathalie Vergnolle:Yes, there will be a face-to-face meeting in Johannesburg

  Andreea Brambilla:Sounds like a balanced approach, Rafik.

  Renata:ok

  Renata:perhaps would be good sending a reminder to SO/ACs on questionnaire since it's mid-may?

  Fiona Asonga:Yes Renata We should send a reminder to the AC/SO

  Renata:si

  Renata:tks fiona 

  Olevie:tks Nathalie

  Nathalie Vergnolle:you're welcome!

  Renata:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2cGcx8nNvYSg_ZMUVnoC2t0VKb4ATQVTXxcxYILrXc/edit

  Renata:a few changes in this draft here

  Renata:so just checking if rec 4 is ok

  Fiona Asonga:+1 should be to the elements of diversity that are relevant to the group

  Fiona Asonga:Then some elements may also not be measurable but can be observed. What happens to those?

  Renata:so this is what Corinne Amal and me posted that the group could do then cherrypicking

  Renata:framing intentionally for instance that gender diversity is not relative to security

  avri doria:handling all langueages will require technical solutions.  not within ICANN purview. 

  Olevie:IMHO we can choose french and spanish at least

  avri doria:In another context there were objections from Chinese speakers at being excluded when there is more that English.

  Renata:suggestion: ICANN focuses on the languages most spoken by the community

  Renata:Instead of UN official languages + Portuguese

  Olevie:yes, UN official languages at least

  avri doria:but is Portguese now a UN language?

  Renata:no 

  avri doria:and if a seventh is being added, why that one?

  Rafik:sorry guys I was just disconnected from the phone and AC mic is not working 

  Renata:most spoken in the community was my suggestion

  Brenda Brewer:We are trying to connect Rafik again.  Please stand by for reconnection.

   avri doria:i think arguments can be made for just English (demand is low fo translation and use is low) or 6 as in the UN.

  avri doria:with the assumption that is they are avaialble they will eventually be used.

  avri doria:how is "key" languages defined?

  Rafik:"key" would be controversial, how decide a ranking

  Marie Noemie Marques:Why referring to UN languages? Let's only emention he langaues that ICANN can support ?  

  Brenda Brewer:Time Check - 9 minutes remain

   avri doria:we cannot, in any case, call the 7 langauges UN langauges in the paragrapgh.

  avri doria:do we have stats on the 7 most used? 

  Olevie:please 7  or 6 ?

  avri doria:why these 7?

  Renata:avri languages most spoken in the community

  Olevie:there are 6 UN official languges not 7

  avri doria:the utility of English is that it is, i beleive, the largest second language. for better or for worse it is the most used.

  Olevie:prtuguese in not include

  avri doria:but if we are going to used the most spoken, then we need to measure.

  avri doria:have we done a survey of first, zecond, thrid langauge used in ICANN ever?

  avri doria:she is waiting for translation perhaps?

  Renata:the measurement is done/was done by languages services + board I believe in choosing these langs.

  Olevie:english, spanish and french

  avri doria:that would be the top 3 what are the top 7?

  avri doria:if they have measured, would be good to see the results.

  Fiona Asonga: I will send it on email 

  Amal Al-Saqqaf: I think we should only state that ICANN  ACs/SOs & WGs should be flexible on the languages to be used and to support the needed language case by case. For example, in the WGs for Thailand IDN, a local language should be provided among interepretation

  Fiona Asonga:+1 Amal

  avri doria:Amal, that makes sense 

  Renata:+1

  Amal Al-Saqqaf:to help  target benefeciaries to participate

  Renata:be flexible is important expression here

  avri doria:adding something like, with possible adjuctments for any specifc working effot that focuses on a specific langauge group.

  avri doria:..  adjustments ...

  Andreea Brambilla:Apologies, I have to drop off for another meeting.

  Lito Ibarra:Amal +1

  avri doria:and i think people often miss the impliend phrase "but this is not an ideal word, therefore ..."

  Lito Ibarra:I also apologize, I have another meeting now. Bye

  Fiona Asonga:Thanks Lito

  Amal Al-Saqqaf:Thanks all! Bye

  Herb Waye Ombuds:Have a great day everyone, bonne journee y buenos dias

  avri doria:bye all

  Fiona Asonga:Thanks everyone bye

  Renata:Gracias bye

  Olevie:Sory, I leave the dial out cause my battery is empty

  Olevie:bye

  Pär Brumark (GAC Niue):Bye..

  LUIS MARTINEZ:adieu

  Olevie:Au revoir
